milling <strong>wheat</strong> cultivar descriptions<br />
CONQUEST YEAR 8<br />
Premium milling cultivar with strong straw and<br />
excellent sprouting resistance. Early maturing,<br />
it can be sown from May to September or later<br />
under irrigation. Conquest has become mostly<br />
susceptible to a new leaf rust pathotype. It has<br />
moderate resistance to stripe rust and septoria<br />
leaf blotch. It produces high test weights but<br />
low grain weights. It has low screenings, high<br />
protein and high falling number.<br />

MAJESTIC (CRWT139) YEAR 4<br />
Below average yielding milling <strong>wheat</strong>. It<br />
has good disease resistance, however<br />
is moderately susceptible to powdery<br />
mildew. An intermediate to late maturing<br />
cultivar with a stiff straw. Majestic has a low<br />
thousand grain weight and high screening<br />
percentage but high falling numbers.<br />
